Hi, i'm

SPORTS & PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER
Born and raised in North Carolina, I have been everywhere from the beach to the mountains! I currently attend Appalachian State University, double majoring in Communications and General Business Management, and I couldn't be more excited! While up in Boone I plan to come back every month or so to photograph clients back in Raleigh.
When I'm not taking pictures, I spend my time reading, listening to music, and choreographing dances! I love to read fantasy and thriller books to relax in my free time. I also love to listen to music, and my favorite artists are The Lumineers, Caamp, ABBA, and Fleetwood Mac. As a former competitive dancer, I enjoy choreographing routines for my friends that still compete. Dance has been a part of my life since preschool, and I hope to keep dancing forever!

WHY I LOVE WHAT I DO:
There truly is no greater feeling than encapsulating someone's personality in a photograph, or being on the field and getting that perfect shot. I love what I do because I can take a moment of time and freeze it forever. I can take something from being a memory, to being something tangible, that will last forever. Being a photographer is more than a hobby, or a job, because photographers capture the essence of what it means to live.
I love every new client I get, because it is another person I can get to know better. No matter who you are, you can be a perfect model! Some people come to me knowing every single pose they want to hit, while others have no idea where to start. If you are the latter, I am always prepared to help you with poses and get more comfortable in front of the camera! My goal is to create pictures that capture you in the best light possible.
Let’s work together!
